Şakir Gökçebağ is an artist who deconstructs everyday objects, such as footwear, and arranges them into unique installations. He particularly loves using shoes, but he’s also worked with brooms, hula hoops, and toilet paper rolls.

After cutting off the front part, he arranges the damaged shoes in circles, lines, and rows, creating interesting patterns that play with the viewer’s eye. See what he does below.
